Maldives Tourist Information's

Right in front of the Hukuru Miskiiy is a palace Mulee-aage, built in 1906 by Sultan Mohamed Shamsuddeen III. The National Museum is housed in an Edwardian colonial-style building of three storeys, with amazing collection of artifacts from past giving an idea of the unique and rich culture and history of this island nation. 
The Another tourist attraction is Islamic Centre, which is the most vivid architectural landmark of Male'. The spectacular golden dome in all its majesty dominates the skyline. The Centre completed in 1984 consists of a mosque big enough for 5000 people, an Islamic library, conference hall, classrooms and offices. 
The main commercial area is located on the northern waterfront of Male'. This area is the main hub of trade and activity through out the day. The waterfront and the by-lanes in the area are crowded with shops stocked with a variety of goods. On your tour of the capital, you can visit the Male' Fish Market and the Local Market selling a range of local produce. Catch the scene in mid-afternoon as fishing 'dhonis' start returning with their day's catch. The catch, mainly tuna are carried across the road into the open-sided market and laid out on the tiled floors. As fast, as the fish are brought in they are bought and taken away by people. The market is kept scrupulously clean, washed down each day and disinfected. 
If you want to enjoy an especially wonderful view of the country, try an air excursion tours by a seaplane. A glimpse of these wonderful islands from the air is an unforgettable sight. 
The resorts in the Maldives offer a wide variety of water sports like diving and snorkeling. Windsurf schools or water sports centers in the resorts are often equipped with one or more catamarans and a few kayaks or canoes. Some resorts offer only non-motorized water sports. However many of the resorts offer you the chance of testing your skills to the limits, at water-skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, body surfing, knee boarding and fun with banana riding and ringo riding. 
You can also enjoy windsurfing on your tours of Maldives. The windsurfing is done in the large lagoons that surround most of the islands. These lagoons with waist deep water for hundreds of meters with soft sandy bottoms and the protective barrier provided by the house reef, offer safe conditions for windsurfing, especially for beginners. All windsurf schools and water sports centers have the basic equipment for windsurfing, and in most cases one or more catamarans and a few canoes. Each island offers a beautiful house-reef that you could snorkel in everyday. 
Those resorts with far out reefs have boats that take snorkellers to the reef. You can rent the mask and fins from the dive schools if you need them. Explore the under water world on your Maldives tour. The variety and abundance of colorful fish in the reefs surrounding the islands and the atolls would fill you with amazement and disbelief. Water-skiing is another water sport offered by many resorts and a must activity on your tour of Maldives. You can rent speedboats and water skis for rent on an hourly or daily basis. Most of the bigger resorts offer the excitement and fun of parasailing. Some offer instruction for beginners. Almost all the resorts offer fishing, night fishing being the most popular. In night fishing, the boat is anchored at a reef just before sunset. Many resorts also organize morning fishing and big game fishing. The favorite catch is the red snapper. Many resorts also organize morning fishing and big game fishing. Morning fishing, like big-game fishing involves trolling outside the atoll, usually along the outer atoll reef.
Most of the hotels in the Maldives are called tourist resorts. A tourist resort, by the Maldivian definition, is an island all by itself. Every resort island has its own beach. Fringing the inner lagoon, you will normally find what we call the 'house reef' here. The house reef separates the island and its inner lagoon from the deeper water outside. You will discover that the landscaping has been done round the natural vegetation. The only man-made edifices on your resort would probably be the rooms and suites as well as the resort facilities that are on offer. Finally, all Resorts offer recreational facilities that include water sports and activities. Resorts set amidst incredible natural beauty offer modern services, delectable food and extremely hospitable service and personalized attention to smallest details
